🎭 There’s still time to join us!

Young performers: it’s time to go beyond just singing the song. 🎶✨

Stage & Song: Acting the Musical Theatre Number starts THIS SATURDAY at Rubber City Theatre!

Designed for ages 6–12, this class helps young performers dig into the acting behind musical theatre. Students will work with solos, duets, and ensemble numbers while learning how to analyze lyrics, make bold character choices, tell a story through song, and connect more deeply to their material.

Whether they’re getting ready for their next audition or just want to become a stronger, more confident musical theatre performer, Stage & Song is a chance to build those skills in a fun and supportive environment.
